Daum, the legendary glass maker master, has kept alive for more than a century a love relationship with the greatest artists of its time, giving their work of art a second life of crystal and colors. From the Ecole de Nancy, from Art Nouveau to Art Decoratif, from Majorelle to Dali, Arman and Hilton McConnico, Daum has not missed any of the magic rendez-vous of the artistic creation and modern savoir-faire, which has always renewed the alliance of art and art craft.

About Madeleine van der Knoop
Madeleine van der Knoop, Belgian artist born in 1953 in Brussels, lives and works in Antwerp. She is well known for her impressive bird sculptures and possesses a particular talent for reinterpreting these animals with intense realism, transposing what she perceives in the right proportions, while adding a personal touch.
The sculptor regular collaborates with the Maison Daum.
The ‘‘pâte de cristal’’ gives life to deep and luminous shades of color, reinterpreting every detail of Madeleine van der Knoop’s works, worked by the craftsmen of the Nancy manufacturer.
